Embassy denies report on police chief’s MH370 remark

MH370 The Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur has denied a report that Indonesian police chief General Sutarman said he and his Malaysian counterpart knew what happened to Malaysia Airlines (MAS) Flight MH370.

Police attache of the Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, Aby Nursetyanto, said the report by Indonesian newspaper Tempo yesterday was their own conclusion on MH370, missing since March 8.

“The reporter will be summoned by the Indonesian police chief to clarify the report. Action will be taken if he failed to show any proof,” he told Bernama when contacted in Kuala Lumpur today.

Tempo yesterday quoted General Sutarman as saying that he and his Malaysian counterpart knew what happened to MH370, but declined to elaborate.

Following the report, the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) denied a report that they and the Indonesian police knew what actually happened to MH370.

Meanwhile, inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar said he did not know anything about it and was shocked by the report originating from Indonesia.

MH370 disappeared from radar on March 8 when flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 227 passengers and 12 crew members.

The Boeing 777 has not been found despite a massive search conducted in the southern Indian Ocean, where it is believed to have ended.
